I’ve drawn off 20l RO water in prep for brew day tomorrow calculating for a pale ale profile using 50% RO, 50% tap water plus additions. However, it has only just occurred to me that I'm adjusting this water to a sulphate/chloride profile not too dissimilar to my tap water so I may as well just use that with extra lactic. Question is, will the RO be ok in the ashbeck bottles until next week?
 
This is for kit brews? Just fill the Ashbeck bottles with RO to the brim and screw the caps on tight. I've left them for 2 weeks before use. I can't see how it would deteriorate. I also 50/50 with the local (very hard) spring water (so no chlorine). I'm concerned not to poison folk so I pasteurise the spring water in a Burco boiler (70*C) the day before 'brewing'. If you're AG brewing that boils out any bugs anyhow.
